Code Review
This pull request adds documentation to TextField.maxLength explaining how to hide the character counter. The information is helpful and correct. I've suggested a small change to improve the readability and flow of the documentation paragraph.

LGTM 👍 . Good call, we should definitely mention this.
| /// field showing how many characters have been entered. If set to a number | ||
| /// greater than 0, it will also display the maximum number allowed. If set | ||
| /// to [TextField.noMaxLength] then only the current character count is displayed. | ||
| /// To remove the counter, set [InputDecoration.counterText] to an empty string. |

Would it be worth it to also mention that you can return null from buildCounter or is that overkill here?

Great! I think it makes sense to mention buildCounter. I will update the PR.
